Title: Good luck tonight, basketvols.
Post by: MIAUTIGER on January 02, 2018, 10:09:45 EST
We have not played anyone of significance. Tonight will be the first true test for Auburn and will be a good judge of how good, or bad, we really are.

Just make sure you're losing with ~5 minutes to go, and you should be fine. :banghead:

Yep.....if the game was 35 minutes instead of 40 we'd be undefeated. :banghead:

This is a pathetic, pitiful, miserable effort by a basketball team that looks like it has convinced itself since it "can hang" with Villanova and UNC, all it needs to do is show up and win in SEC play. :frown:

Easily the worst effort of the season.  Hopefully this will get their attention.

AU beat them every where there is a stat....Just a sorry a$$ effort. Got up 14 and AU punched them in the mouth and they folded like a cheap suit.

Maybe those sportswriters who picked UT 13th in the conference knew something the rest of us didn't.   :frown:

Nothing new here.  Every year our basketball team has early success in the OOC games, or sometimes early in the SEC season, but it never seems to last.  We need to get it together quickly, next 2-3 games are tough.

Next game is Kentucky in fact.   :doh:

But beating them will definitely make up for this loss.  :naughty:

Barnes has to recruit some difference makes...types that can put the team on their backs come nutt-cutten time. We have a rag tag team that plays hard but not a difference maker down the stretch in a close game. As long as Barnes keeps bringing in 3 star blue collar type players we will lose more down to the wire games than we'll win.

Well crap...and I thought we were becoming a basketball school. Hopefully they turn it on in time to make the dance.
